Redefining Productivity: Why Rest Is a Power Move

In this episode of The Alignment Lab, Meredith DeSantos flips the script on hustle culture and digs into the power of rest as a strategy—not a setback. Backed by both Human Design and neuroscience, Meredith shows how honoring rest actually fuels bigger results.

You’ll hear tailored strategies for each Human Design type on how to weave rest into your workflow without guilt, plus practical tips for auditing your current habits so you can stop forcing and start flowing.

This episode is your permission slip to ditch the grind and embrace your natural rhythm—because success isn’t about squeezing more in, it’s about aligning with who you are.
